depression, or, “Sometimes I feel this way”.

You sleep

and sleep more,

don’t remember dreams

except to know they were somewhat disturbing.

You want a week

without interruptions

just to do nothing at all.

Every project thought of

feels overwhelming,

You don’t know how to begin.

There are meals to plan, diets to figure out,

power points to create for chapters unread,

Shelves to dust,

budgets to align,

Boxes of stuff to organize,

A 2:00 appointment

intrudes on your day,

makes you feel like

you can’t start anything.

You know how unreasonable

all of this sounds,

and you know to do anything

will change how you feel.

You decide on a shower,

This, itself, an accomplishment,

that gives reason to celebrate.
